ON OFFER THE MEGA RARE PROG / PSYCH ALBUM FROM ANDROMEDA RECORDED JUNE 1969 AND RELEASED THAT SAME YEAR. UNUSUALLY FOR A MAJOR RECORD LABEL LIKE RCA THE ALBUM SOLD IN VERY FEW NUMBERS (ALLEGEDLY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE PRESSED) LISTENING TO ALBUM TODAY IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT DIDN'T BECOME A MAJOR SELLER. RECORDED IN THAT CROSSOVER POINT WHERE PSYCH MORPHED INTO PROGRESSIVE ROCK IT IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF UNDERGROUND ROCK. GUITARIST JOHN CANN WENT ON TO JOIN ATOMIC ROOSTER.THIS IS A LOVELY CLEAN COPY AND PLAYS WITH STUNNING SOUND QUALITY. I DO NOT MAKE CLAIMS AS TO RECORDS BEING MINT WHEN THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED BUT THIS WILL I AM SURE PLEASE ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NICE CLEAN COPY WITH GREAT PLAYABILITY.THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING ( IN FACT ONLY PRESSING ) FROM 1969.
